Someone was asking me today about the inefficiency of lexical_cast for its common itoa/atoi-like usage, and it occurred to me that it could *easily* be optimized to handle the common cases by dispatching to itoa/atoi ftoa/atof where available, and even sprintf. Seems like a great idea to me. Thoughts? -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
